Milky Green River Mystery in Radcliffe | Manchester News
Description
The River Irwell turned a bizarre milky green Saturday, August 8th, sparking alarm and mystery. Originating near Rectory Lane in Radcliffe, the substance spread downstream in waves, prompting suspicions of an organized dump. While experts lean toward waste milk—due to lack of chemical smell—residents warn it could harm river oxygen levels, especially as UK rivers are already struggling. The Environment Agency is investigating, and United Utilities confirms it’s not from their system. Authorities urge reporting any pollution and keeping kids and pets away from affected waters until the source is identified.
